Help with Blobs and Conditions in Report Extension

My ultimate goal is to display an image (from my computer) on a sale invoice report only if a specific field on the invoice is a certain value.

I don't know how to upload an image from my own computer so that I can use it in my report extension (I'm assuming that is what "blobs" are for?). I am also unsure how to how to write the conditional in my report extension (what trigger to use, how to use reference a field value so that I can compare it to a certain value, etc).

Can I please get some guidance on this?

Hi jdrco ,

You can achieve it by going to the report designer of the image Visibility property see the image below.

Hi jdrco ,

You can search the report builder download option, it will allow you to design RDL report format report, see the below link to download.

www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

Or you can use Visual Studio latest version by installing the RDLC report add in there.

Thanks.

Hi Nitin Verma, do you know if there is a way of doing this just using AL programming?

Hi,

You can also copy and paste the image directly (if there is a one image only) into your designer, and set the visibility property, and see if it works.

Thanks.

Right now I am only working with Word and AL. What designer are you referring to?

Hi Nitin Verma , sorry to bother again but I am trying this method now. But I get this error:

Rendering output for the report failed and the following error occurred: The Visibility.Hidden expression for the image ‘PaidTxt’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.

Thanks,
J
